Who needs another LinkTree?
The answer is no one, obviously. This is essentially the free version, that comes with cool analytics about yours, and others’ profiles. I built this project to strengthen my auth and database management skills. Prior to this project, I had also never deployed, so I wanted to experiment with Next.js + Vercel as well.
Project Scoping
Requirements:
- Working Auth - Implement a safe + secure login process for users
- Analytics - I love charts + graphs. I want to visualize the data and create competition between users

Build Process
Auth + Database Management: I wanted to build a program with users to experiment with these concepts. Supabase was the happy medium between learning databases and diving deep into Postgres. Began to learn SQL as well for this project in order to make edits in Supabase. I used Chart.js for visualizing data, a tool I was looking forward to learning, and absolutely love.
Overall, Auth + Databases were much less intimidating than I had thought! Building this project gave me hands-on experience with Next.js and Vercel, which I had only dabbled in prior to this.
Future Features
- Autopopulation - Would love to implement a feature that autopopulates links based off of links you post on your social media accounts, saves influencers time from having to post in both places
- More Users - My analytics tools unfortunately don’t work without mock data currently because of a lack of users :(
